Scope and content
Proposes a telegram drafted in consultation with Seton [A2/23/6] as more appropriate. A complete code is not possible, for situations which arise under martial law must be dealt with according to the conditions. The Government of India cannot fairly be asked to pass permanent orders before the Hunter Commission reports.
